My friend said this was very good

Back cover:

The memory of violence and loss drove Anna Pigeon from the city to seek peace in the Southwestern wilderness. Now a ranger in America's national parks, Anna is at one with nature and its serene, unspoiled majesty. But the brutal death of a fellow ranger in the remote West Texas backcountry - presumably by mountain lion attack - looks suspiciously like murder to Anna. And her unauthorized investigation into the tragedy is placing her squarely in harm's way. For a trail with few leads winds through dangerous territory - where Anna must confront the dark side of the desert . . . and the human heart.

Just got this in the mail today - thanks Aveta!! :)

My second Anna Pigeon adventure in as many days - I read A Superior Death yesterday and jumped right into this one today.
I enjoyed this book - the blend of adventure, suspense, quirky characters and a heroine with a soft spot for animals works for me! I'll be seeking out more books in this series as I can't wait to see what else Anna Pigeon gets up to.

I'll leave this on the little shelf with the newspapers some time around 3 this afternoon.
